    Heres what ive been busy on

    Well here is what ive been working on the past few months. Finally got all the body work done and had the car painted. Ive got most of the stereo going and just have to figure out what to do on the subwoofer. I dont want to add to much weight to the car. But im working with a MTX 81000D and looking to run either one big 12" or 2 10"s i do believe. I really dont want to spend more than $150 on the subs either..... Any input there wouls be greatly appreciated...... Pictures will be up in just a minute...

    Trunk Battery

    An additional battery would help. But dont expect a large increase in peformance....but hey every little bit helps. You REALLY need to get the Big 3 done. You will get better performance out of your current battery and your alternator.
  4. Maybe something got pinched or moved when you were running that 0 gauge. Did you have to run the wire down the drivers side of the car? If so, make sure something didnt intefere with the paking brake switch.
  5. Then you need to check your voltage with a meter while the car is running...... Or disconnect the 2nd battery and see if the light goes off then......

    Ok wise guy. I mean the biggest i can get for $150 or less...... I dont want something HUGE...just something biger than your average off the shelf 12" and what not.
  9. No im saying your battery light should only be on, if the car is running off the battery or batteries and the vehicle is NOT seeing any additional power from your alternator. Example. If you turn your key forward without cranking vehicle, your battery light should be on. When you crank the car, the battery light should go away once it sees that the alternator has kicked on and is charging. If your Battery light is staying on, then your alternator may have went out. But since you said the power steering went out as well.... alot of vehicles have a one belt running the alternator and power steering pump. I would advise you to pop your hood and check for a missing belt, or at the very least check your voltage while the car is running.......
  10. Usually the battery light stays on when its running off of the battery by itself and its not seeing any voltage from the alternator. If thats the case,....and your power steering went out....would there happen to be a belt off or broken under the hood to take out the steering and the alternator??? Only logical ansewr i can come up with ........

    Weird box design

    The port is going all around the front of the box......Very interesting idea...Never seen this done before. The only thing i can tell is that it would need some significant bracing, which would also block some port area and potentially give you some port noise.......But i could be wrong....NEVER seen this done before. Port noise or not, it would be worth it to try it out.

    Making your own bass knob?

    See if you can find something here. You should be able to adjust it from the power side of the amplifier with one of these. Good luck. Hope this helps..... #1 Volume Control | Custom Installed Audio Volume Control $14.95

  14. Well i havent created a build log in a long time on here. I recently decided to pull out ALL of my high end stereo equipment to make room for my new baby girl thats on the way. I settled for (1) Kicker Comp 12" on a no brand name Amp that i dug out of the trash and fixed................ I cant take it ANYMORE!!!!! I gotta have something that will do a little damaged when i need it to soooooo say tuned. Today i will be attempting to build a new box for one of my SSD 15's tuned somewhere around 28-35 Hz....havent decided yet........but i may need some design help!!!!!!! STAY TUNED. (1) Fi SSD 15" D1 loaded (1) Kicker ZX2500.1 (1)Kinetic KHC1800 Battery under the hood (1) 160 Amp alternator

    Any idea what the problem could be?

    Just a thought. But if your running a stock H/U, then you more than likely have some sort of low level adapter installed in the vehicle to convert the factory speaker wires over to a more usable RCA connection. If there is a bad connection on one of those channels you will loose half power through your RCA jacks..........but it sounds like you may already have found the issue......Good Luck...

    4Runner rebuild....Cant let it all go,

    Thanks man. I got it to bond pretty well just by roughing the plastic up really good. Then i wrapped it really tight with fleece and shot staples throught the back side to hold it in place. Glassed it and never had a problem out of it again.

    4Runner rebuild....Cant let it all go,

    Each door has 2 pods fiberglassed in at the bottom holding a pair of Pioneer 4-way 6 1/2's on axis. Also have a pair of Pioneer tweeters running of just deck power. So basically 8 6.5 4-ways on about 400watts. Everything comes in loud and clear.....
